Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) acquires three-dimensional volumetric images using a two-dimensional flat panel detector mounted on a C-arm that rotates around the patient. CBCT enables planning of transarterial radioembolisation or chemoembolisation by detection and analysis of small occult tumours, tumour-feeding arteries, and extrahepatic arterial feeders, and enables assessment of treatment outcome.

錐形束電腦斷層掃描(CBCT)使用圍繞患者旋轉的C形臂上的二維平板檢測器獲取三維體積圖像。 CBCT通過檢測和分析小隱匿性腫瘤、腫瘤供養動脈和肝外供養動脈來規劃經動脈放療或化療栓塞, 並且評估治療結果。
